About the book
Beneath the Changing Tides
The Cooper family enters 1913 believing that familiar routines will continue, but Europe is moving towards a war that will reach into every home. As uncertainty becomes mobilisation and separation, the family must face fear, sacrifice and responsibilities none of them expected, while East London adjusts to a conflict of unprecedented scale.
Beneath the Changing Tides follows the Coopers through the First World War years, keeping the emotional cost of events close to the people who endure them. Relationships are tested by distance, grief and rapidly changing roles at home and at work. Yet companionship, duty and hope remain powerful forces. Blending family drama with carefully grounded period atmosphere, this second volume explores how war alters not only nations but the private lives, expectations and memories of those left to carry on.
